How Anne’s Approaches Work Online

Anne uses client-centered methods to build a respectful, listening-based relationship where the client’s priorities guide each session. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes goals around what matters most to them.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of acting. CBT is practical for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and for learning skills to manage mood and behavior.

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. DBT strategies can be helpful for impulsivity, anger, relationship strain, and intense emotions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist discusses options with the client, tries techniques together in sessions, and adjusts the plan based on what feels effective and doable. Goals and methods are reviewed regularly so the work stays relevant.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit sessions into work and family schedules. Phone or chat can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, while video sessions are useful for more involved skill practice. Text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions and quick coaching when helpful.
